RESUMEN

En el presente trabajo se realiza una actualización de los aspectos conceptuales y fisiopatológicos del síncope y la hipotensión ortostática, proponiéndose un enfoque de enfrentamiento diagnóstico y terapéutico que tiene como base una comprensión etiopatológica del síndrome que permita una estratificación de los pacientes según el riesgo relativo de sufrir en el futuro episodios de muerte súbita cardiovascular y/o episodios de morbimortalidad de cualquier tipo. Se hace énfasis en el comportamiento del síncope y la hipotensión ortostática en los pacientes de la tercera edad, particularizando de esta manera los algoritmos diagnóstico-terapéuticos en este grupo.
